The funk is like raw, that keyboard is glorious

This Is Modern Funk

BusCrates is on his Isley Brothers meets Modern Funk tip with “Gotta Get Back,” the new single from the forthcoming Altitude EP. Leave it to BusCrates to find the through lines from hard funk blaxploitation-era licks to the rubbery and warbly bop of mid tempo Modern Funk. As singer Lailah Reich enters “Gotta Get Back”, her hushed, sensual style adds a 90s r&b flavor that deepens its ability to transmute bygone styles into a futuristic sound yet to be classified.

City Freaks (Rafael Marfil Remix)

Voyage Funktastique, Montreal’s trusted modern funk and street soul label, is excited to present its latest 7-inch vinyl gem:

“You Got Me Dreamin” — a timeless new single from Toronto producer Bes Kept and South Carolina soul vocalist Teddy Bryant - perfectly channels the golden era Street-Soul, R&B, and mid-80s Funk sound — think of Loose Ends, SOS Band, and 52nd Street — and is crafted for serious soul heads, selectors, and collectors alike.

This release marks Bes Kept’s anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed production “Roses” for Lynda Dawn, featured on Extra Soul Perception’s New Tangents In Kampala, London & Nairobi Vol.1 and released as a highly sought-after 7” single with an XL Middleton remix.

Teddy Bryant, known for his standout albums In The Beginning and Dinner For Two, as well as the smooth 12" single "Heaven Sent" (released on PPU) with Oakland producer Space Ghost, brings his signature warmth and heartfelt delivery to this classic-inspired groove.

jazzENIGMATIC is an audio series that explores the dynamism, complexity, and misunderstood beauty of jazz music.

A historically Black art form - and arguably the only truly American music - jazz has too often been reduced to background noise for coffee shops, dinner parties, or elevators. It’s been misunderstood as niche, inaccessible, or reserved for a select few. This series challenges that notion.

An homage and challenge to jazz stereotypes, jazzENIGMATIC invites you to hear jazz as it is: raw, alive, unpredictable. A conversation. An experiment. A rebellion. An embrace.  

Selections in this mix come directly from my personal vinyl collection, carefully chosen to reflect the depth, variety, and spirit of jazz in all its enigmatic resplendence.

Temptation

Download EP --> https://bastardjazz.bandcamp.com/album/soul-clap-presents-tempo-dreams-vol-3-remixes

When Soul Clap's Tempo Dreams Vol. 3 compilation dropped earlier in the year, it was a peek into the way the new Modern Funk movement was creeping into traditional Dance & Deep House music. Now the Soul Clap boys have taken things a step further in this direction, by comissioning remixes for three of the most breakout tunes on the album. Kicking off the EP is up and coming Soul Clap Records producer David Marston who takes FSQ's "Break The Funk" into driving analog house territory, with piano and live sax added along for extra umph while Soul Clap remix their own "So Sedated" track from the compilation into a foot stomping club jam. Los Angeles producer XL Middleton gives FSQ's "Break The Funk" his signature deep & nasty G-Funk vibes, as FSQ returns the favor and flips his "Antislumper" into a laid back bounce jam with some additional steel drums coming in for an unexpected island vibe. Rounding off the record is XL Middle's dub of "Break The Funk".
